RAY: Here's the answer. The symbol comes from the founders of the Chevrolet Motor Car Company.
TOM: They were brothers, too, just like us.
RAY: And their other brother was Gaston, Chevrolet. And they were, of course, Swiss. They took that symbol, the Swiss flag, and they decided to stylize it a bit, so they leaned it over a few degrees and stretched it out. That has become the Chevrolet symbol. It is because they were Swiss that they used it.
